According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' August 3 position tracking report shows that the volume of long sales for global information technology stocks last week reached the highest level since 2014, with the total selling volume over two consecutive days ranking second highest in nearly a decade. Hedge funds' total leverage gave back half of its year-to-date gains, and net leverage turned negative year-to-date. Retail margin balances in South Korea and Japan began to reverse after reaching historical extremes, while US retail investors are also reducing semiconductor stock holdings. Speculative net shorts in VIX futures have largely been cleared. Goldman Sachs believes the intensity of deleveraging may have peaked, but the inertia of capital outflows persists. Individual stock implied volatility rose to the highest level since 2020, index correlation fell to low levels, and the market is shifting from trading the AI sector broadly to differentiated pricing of individual stocks. Bond funds and money market funds are the main drivers of capital inflows this year; equity funds saw inflows of $34 billion in July, with an absolute scale far smaller than that of the bond market. Goldman Sachs judges that the stock selection environment is improving, but sector beta trading still faces pressure.

CryptoQuant stated that as crypto asset prices remain under pressure, large holders are increasing their positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, indicating they may be preparing for the next market cycle.The firm believes this behavior suggests the current bear market may have entered its final phase. However, CryptoQuant also emphasized that the market has not yet confirmed a bottom, and prices could still decline further.CryptoQuant Research Head Julio Moreno stated that the largest holder groups of BTC, ETH, and XRP are increasing their supply holdings as prices approach or fall below their realized prices. This shift in positioning helps reduce downward pressure and aligns with characteristics typical of the late stage of a cyclical downturn.Data shows that, excluding exchanges and mining pools, Bitcoin whale balances have rebounded from a low of approximately 2.87 million BTC in December 2025 to roughly 3.06 million BTC. This data also excludes holdings by ETFs or digital asset treasury companies.CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin whale holdings have maintained a positive 30-day growth for most of 2026, and accumulation intensified when Bitcoin fell below $60,000 in June. However, current whale balances remain below the 2025 bull market peak of approximately 3.23 million BTC, suggesting there is still room for continued accumulation.
According to Odaily, despite spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of $211.5 million on Tuesday, the price of Bitcoin remained largely flat, hovering around $64,000. Analysts believe this movement resembles the market being compressed into a low-volatility state, rather than signaling an impending sharp decline.On the same day, spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded net inflows of $53.8 million. In the broader macro market, the S&P 500 index closed at a record high of 7,737 points on August 4, the Nasdaq rose 2.6% driven by AI earnings, and Brent crude oil fell below $80 due to easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.Wintermute OTC trader Jasper De Maere stated that ETF buying entering the market but failing to push Bitcoin's price higher is itself a key signal, indicating that marginal buyers in the spot market are not truly one-sided bulls. He believes that for Bitcoin to sustain its recovery narrative, it needs a clear breakout above $65,000 in the short term.Overall, analysts are interpreting the current Bitcoin price action as a form of "boring bottoming": no obvious panic selling, yet lacking strong upward momentum. ETF inflows provide support, but the price remains suppressed below key resistance, suggesting the market is still waiting for a clearer directional catalyst.
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Galaxy Research stated that the largest known COLDCARD theft incident involves 1,159 BTC, distributed across seven attacker addresses, which remain untouched to date, with 0 BTC cashed out or transferred through mixers. The relevant BTC was stolen within 41 minutes, but approximately 600 attacker addresses have been flagged by law enforcement agencies, exchanges, and blockchain analysis firms. Meanwhile, a smaller-scale attacker appears to have begun cleaning funds. On-chain analysts have tracked 64 BTC entering mixers, of which only about 10 BTC initially completed mixing, 54 BTC returned as change, and were subsequently split into outputs of approximately 7 BTC each for further mixing. Analysts noted that these unusually large outputs remain easy to trace, making this cleaning attempt relatively transparent.
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Alex Thorn of Galaxy Research stated that researchers initially identified the first wave of COLDCARD thefts through a distinctive on-chain pattern: thousands of automated asset transfer transactions used the same fixed fee rate and exhibited identical transaction behavior. This characteristic enabled analysts to trace attacker activity across Bitcoin UTXO history and map out multiple rounds of coordinated theft.
